1978 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Dixie, Washington, United States
Just email me at: nguyetnddaner@rangersfans.com .
For sale is my 1978 Porsche 911SC, It is white with the black leather/vinyl interior. Pictured is a Recaro racing
seat, which is not included in the purchase of this vehicle. The driver's stock black seat (as on the passenger
side) would be included (as well as its original full interior). For an additional cost, I would be interested in
selling the spare parts I have from other SC's and 930 Turbos which includes almost another entire interior, A/C
parts, turbo decklid, headlights and taillights, turbo width Fuchs etc. I will try to work on photos of all the
parts I have if you are interested in buying them as well. This car just received about $5k in recent servicing
done at Northwest German in Lynnwood area just a few months ago. Within the past 1K miles its has also received
brand new Potenza RE-11's (205/55/16 and 245/45/16), brand new battery, brake service/flush, engine cleaning,
rebuilt fuel system (tank, pump, filter and lines/hoses), new spark plugs, transmission service/flush, oil change
and the addition of new adjustable rear sway bar end links. This car is ready to go to its new home. This car runs,
drives and stops great. It was imported from Europe by the previous owner, which is why it has the Amber rear
corners as well as some other features only Euro cars have, such as the headlights, I have been told. Actual
mileage unknown, however the car was imported with 88K km's, but had a odo/speedo replacement for MPH/Miles and it
reads much higher than true mileage. The undercarriage and cleanliness (read lack of rust) shows that this is a
lower mileage example, always with proper storage. Paint is really shiny however, it does have rock chips, due to
its age if you look closely. Honestly it looks astounding driving down the road and would make for a great track
car or daily driver. It is not a show queen or a concourse winner. The interior has recently been refreshed with
felted racing carpets (dark grey), RS door panels and a WEVO Shifter really help make this interior look and feel
new. The car does have a bolt in rear cage as well as a handful of suspension modifications (front and rear sway
bar/strut tower brace, Bilstien shocks, lowered etc.) It also has an aftermarket exhaust system which sounds great
as well as a Momo steering wheel. This post is a feeler as I am considering a new car and would need to make room.
Let me know if you have any further questions and please don't waste your time trying to lowball me.

Leno buys classic Porsche 356 Carrera 2, seeks out and finds perfect expert for help
Mon, 19 Aug 2013The world of collector cars is fairly tight-knit when you get down to individual models. Need proof? Just take a look at this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. The subject is a gorgeous 1963 Porsche 356 Carrera 2. Jay, being known as quite a collector, got a call from someone looking to sell. While doing his due diligence and looking for a 356 expert to go over the car with him, he came across John Willhoit.
Where the story gets weird is when Leno is asked the license plate number - it turns out that Willhoit, owner of Willhoit Restorations, had restored the exact same car more than 30 years prior. He then sold it to the same person that was looking to give it to Leno. What follows is a truly interesting video on the little quirks of the 356, along with Willhoit's personal history on a car he hadn't seen since 1976.
This is a bit more mechanically detailed than Leno's normal videos, but it's on a very interesting subject. Take a look below for the entire film.
Ruf RGT 4.2 offers 518 hp of naturally aspirated power
Thu, Mar 5 2015Ruf has a reputation for building some fast interpretations of the Porsche 911, and the company's latest RGT 4.2 at the Geneva Motor Show provides an interesting point of comparison compared to the new GT3 RS that's debuting there. In terms of pure power, the Ruf wins out. The company crafts a flat six with 4.2-liters of displacement making 518 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque with a top speed of 200 miles per hour. In contrast, the latest GT3 RS gets 500 ponies and 338 lb-ft of twist from its direct-injected 4.0-liter mill. Depending on your desires, the RGT 4.2 might have the preferred gearbox too with its six-speed manual versus the Porsche's PDK. Styling is also going to come down to personal tastes between these two. The RGT 4.2 has an almost old-school racing look with its bolted-on fender flares, five-spoke wheels, thick carbon fiber rear wing and lower front air dam. Inside, there's also an integrated roll cage. The RS, on the contrary, appears thoroughly modern with its big fender intakes at the back, slashes just behind the front wheels, CFRP hood and magnesium roof. Check out Ruf's naturally aspirated monster on the Geneva show floor in the gallery, above. The RGT 4.2 maintains a long tradition of Ruf supercars with its outrageous driving performance. Unveiled in 2000, the first RGT was characterised by its powerful, torquey normally-aspirated flat-six engine. With a significantly reduced all-up weight and sports-oriented suspension system, the RGT was an extremely impressive driving machine.Now, in 2015, the RGT remains true its original concept, though its external appearance is clearly more athletic. The wheel arches are more bulbous and the front facade presents huge round air intakes for more effective cooling. The chassis is reinforced by RUF's hallmark Integrated Roll Cage (IRC). Propulsion is provided by its virile 4.2-litre six-cylinder, normally-aspirated engine, developing 525bhp and 500Nm of torque, featuring dry sump lubrication with external oil tank. A proper driving machine for sure POWER 525 PS / 386 kW @ 8.370/min TORQUE 500 Nm @ 5.820/min DISPLACEMENT 4178ccm TRANSMISSION 6-speed manual gearbox TOP SPEED 322 km/h FUEL CONSUMPTION urban 19,8 l/100km non-urban 9,8l/100km combined 13,6 l/100km CO2 emissions 317g/km Effizienzklasse G Related Video:
Porsche recalls new 911 models over exhaust pipe issues
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Porsche, though the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, announced a voluntary recall on about 2,200 911 Carrera and Carrera 4 models built during the 2012 and 2013 model years. On cars equipped with the standard exhaust system it was found that the tailpipes could separate from the mufflers and become dangerous road debris; models that added the optional sport exhaust system are not included in this recall.
Affected vehicles were built between March and November of last year, but there have been no reports of the problem on any customer-owned vehicles. Porsche first noticed a cracked tailpipe weld on a test vehicle back in May, and since then has found similar problems on other internally owned vehicles, all with more than 25,000 miles on the clock. To fix the problem, dealers will be replacing the mufflers. Scroll down to read the official notice.
